  I have changed my encrypted google search engine on "subject: House" with these steps:

  1. download sqlite browser.
  (I used this: website (sqlitebrowser.sourceforge.net) / victory of direct download)

  2 extract the zip file

  3. run ' SQLite Database Browser 2.0 b1.

  4. open the "chromeappsstore.sqlite" file in your profile folder

  5. click the Browse data tab and double-click the value in the first row. (see screenshot below)

  6. Insert the desired value.

  As you will see the values in the example below, you can use any search you want and you can insert a "_searchTerms_" instead of the term research.
  I have these values:

  • Standart (google):

  {'name': 'Google', "searchUrl" ': "_ http://www.google.com/search?q=_searchTerms & ie = utf - 8 & oe = utf-8 & aq = t & rls = org.mozilla: en - org.mozilla & client = firefox-a" "}

  • Encrypted Google:

  {'name': 'Google', "searchUrl" ': "https://encrypted.google.com/search?q=_searchTerms _" "}

  • Yahoo:

  {'name': 'Yahoo', "searchUrl" ': "http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=_searchTerms _" "}

  {'name': 'Yahoo', "searchUrl" ': "http://www.bing.com/search?q=_searchTerms _" "}

• I can't get rid of the Firefox start page even if I continue to put in my own home page.

  Suddenly, earlier today, the Firefox start page appears when I open Firefox. I tried several times to return to my own homepage through TOOLS, OPTIONS or by drag-and - drop. Whenever I get close and reopen, it comes back to its own Start Page for Firefox. I don't want to, I want my own hpmepage.

  Hey Hey,

  Try the following:

  (1) go to Subject: config (type in the address bar).

  (2) enter.

  (3) search browser.startup.homepage.

  (4) this variable controls what page is loaded when you start Firefox.

  If its value is Subject: Home, you can change this value on the site that you want to load at startup. If not, try this:

  Citing cor - el:

  ================

  Have you checked the target line in the properties of the desktop Firefox shortcut?

  What is the start setting?

     Tools > Options > General > Startup: "When Firefox Starts":
     "Show my windows and tabs from last time"
     "Show my home page"
     "Show a blank page"
  

  ================

  To change this Web site, it opens when you open a new tab, do the same thing but with browser.newtab.url.

  • How to set homepage - Firefox supports several home pages separated by ' |' symbol

• There seems to be a MAJOR problem (blocking/memory leak) in "subject: House", also known as the Firefox Start Page, at 26.0 Firefox on Windows!

  There seems to be a MAJOR problem (blocking/memory leak) in "subject: House", also known as start up Firefox, 26.0 Firefox Page, Windows!

  seen on:
  -Windows 7 x 64 machine with 12 GB of RAM and high performance CPU (core i7-920)
  -Comments Machine virtual WinXP SP3 (in Oracle VirtualBox) running on the same computer
  -Intel Atom D525 netbook with 4 GB of RAM, running Win7 x 64

  None of these machines are connected through Sync or something like that. The Firefox instance on the virtual machine is a fresh install / clean.

  The problem:
  -100% of cpu usage for 10 seconds, (util in XP) memory usage goes up to 1.7 GB
  -If "subject: House" is actually the Firefox Start Page, it blocks the computer at startup of Firefox for 10 seconds
  -If "subject: House" isn't the Firefox Start Page, startup is fine - BUT if I press the "home" on the toolbar button it loads "on: House" which causes the same question once again

  Sounds that there is a problem with one of the code snippets that are responsible. I've seen several reports on this issue.

  You can set the browser.aboutHomeSnippets.updateUrl pref an empty string on the subject: the page of config to disable loading (new) checked to see if that helps.
  
  You can open the topic: config page through the address bar

  For your safety, you must do a lot of software updates. You may be holding back for some reason any. Let us know what it is because there may be a fix or workaround now.

  To update to the 19 of Firefox, you can use the "Check for updates" button here:

  Menu help > about Firefox

  To update your Adobe PDF and Shockwave Flash plugins and check for other obsolete plugins, you can use this page:
